My Dad Was A [theodor] Roosevelt Democrat.

I Was Terrible Student At Michigan, Terrible. Because There Was Too Much Else To Do. I Was Learning Form Too Many Other Sources To Go To Class.

I Think That You're Smarter Than We Were, But We Had Two Things: One Is, In Our Naïveté We Believed We Could Change The World. And Number Two, We Believed That Another World Was Possible. And Once That Belief Took Hold Of Some Critical Mass, A Tiny Minority Nonetheless, But A Critical Mass Of People, Then The World Did Change.

I'm Different In The Sense That Every Minute Of Every Day, I Change. I'm Thinking. But The Basic Principles That Have Powered Me Forward Are Still There. They're Not Different.

[barack] Obama Doesn't Disappoint Me, Because All During The Campaign He Said, I'm A Pragmatic, Middle-of-the-road, Compromising Politician.

It Wasn't [barack] Obama Per Se; It Was The Feeling On The Ground; It Was Seeing An Old Black Woman In A Wheelchair Being Wheeled By Her Son Waving A Big American Flag, And Then Seeing A Guy With His Baby In His Arms Saying, "i Didn't Want Her To Miss Tonight! I Wanted To Be Able To Tell Her!" And To See All These People, A Hispanic Cop Dancing With An Old White Woman, Wow! I Mean, That's The World I Want To Live In, And Because It's The World I Want To Live In, I Had A Hard Time Leaving.
